Brrrr. It’s time to think about Spring clothes! (ha) January 5, 2010

Yep. It’s record breaking cold and I’m hawkin’ shorts. Hannah Kate’s Spring show
is coming up and some how, some way I’m gonna host it. (Because my brain is done and I have no sense).

January 21 and 22

9-5

We’ll be doing Clarabelle & the Hen too but I haven’t had time to do a flyer or anything. I’ll get  to it soon…possibly.
We ARE settled into our new digs and I am in hog heaven. It is so much less stressful to have SPACE around me. Ahhhh.

 

Hannah Kate Home Show This Friday & Saturday! July 20, 2009

Check us out at Garnet Hill (.com)! July 15, 2009

Finally! The day has come. We are in Garnet Hill! (Online for now, a mailer goes out in a few days and then the catalog after that). The best part is, they tell folks it’s US! Clarabelle and the Hen. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to get the word out that we have a brand new name. How cute is that skirt? You can bet, Clara will be sportin’ that very outfit come Fall! (I, of course, had nothing to do with the skirt–I just happen to think it’s exceedingly cute). They wrote similar copy for the bottles, and the tee is sold in all sizes (in pink or lime). Plus, we have another design coming up for the tiny tots…

(Mailers went out Monday and Tuesday, and an emailer will go out tomorrow). Please spread the word, come, and bring a friend! Want to be added to the mailing list? Give us a shout!

Rain, Rain, Go Away! May 4, 2009

I hate rain about as much as I hate winter. I was back in my running groove and feeling the benfits of vitamin D on my mood…and then came the  rain. ERGH. So I guess my mind is on sunnier days, thus the new design.picture-1I also worked ALLLL weekend and since designing is like a holiday for me, I’m taking one for a few minutes.

We had our annual crawfish boil saturday night and a good time was had by all.
The rain held out just long enough too…but come Sunday morning, YUCK. Nothing like cleaning up SOGGY crawfish boil leftovers.

Welcome to Anna! Enjoy your visit to the states (I know YOU know the REAL reason for the sand pail design…
you have to have to have the perfect outfit for the beach!)

Okay, time to start cranking again. (And yes, we are still working toward our big changeover…
most of you already know our new name, but we’re waiting to go whole hog for a bit longer. Plus I need to rob a bank or two 🙂

Happy Monday!

I sent invites out this week, but if you think you are not likely on my list and would like to be, please contact me with your address.
